Lightbulb Boarding Pass Scanner App

My wife made a boarding pass scanner app for me, and I thought the FT community might find it useful as well. Right now it's iOS only (any interest in Android?)

It's a simple utility, but you all will probably appreciate it. Using the camera on your iPhone/iPad, you scan the bar code on your boarding pass. What's different from other barcode scanners out there (such as Manatee Scanner) is that the Boarding Pass Scanner understands the format of bar coded boarding passes and interprets the data. For example, you can easily check to see if you have TSA Pre√ (look for a '3' in the Selectee Status field). You can also quickly email the flight information. I think this is very useful during IRROPS - when you get a new boarding pass, you can send your new flight info to friends/family quickly and accurately - just zap the barcode and click email.

To download: iTunes link - Boarding Pass Scanner

Her website: Boarding Pass Scanner

I can pass feedback/feature requests/bugs on to her if you post here, or you can email through the app.

This isn't intended as a commercial message - I've been looking for an app to do this for a while, figured other FTers might enjoy it as well.. Don't think this is the next FT 'snapchat' post
